Good news, bad news

Good news ...

You could hear the collective sigh of relief across Kansas City this morning. As late as Saturday night the Big 12 was dead! Done! History! The rivalries were squashed, KU and the leftovers were destined for the Mountain West ... Then, Texas steps up to announce they're staying, and the Big 12 boosts revenue ... Hallelujah!

Bad news ...

Belle & Sebastian -- another one of the bands on my must-see-before-I-die list -- is making a rare swing through the states this fall. And they're hitting Chicago in October ... Why are my favorites finally coming around now!? ... As I'm leaving Chicagoland!?

Good news ...

We got wind of this a few days ago, and Kates and I immediately started envisioning the experience. Our living arrangements and new jobs kept us from going in 2002 when it was in Milwaukee, but in 2012 -- we're so going. Whether it's the All-Star Game, the Home Run Derby, the Celebrity Softball Game, or the FanFest -- doesn't matter. We're going.
